I have been using jQuery\'s stop(true, true)
method to clear running animations so the next one starts immediately. I noticed that the first parameter, clearQ
I also notice from the documentation of the .finish() method in jQuery 1.9 that
Animations may be stopped globally by setting the property $.fx.off to true. When this is done, all animation methods will immediately set elements to their final state when called, rather than displaying an effect.
There is also a nice demo of the various methods on the .finish() documentation page.
